The administrative process in the transcomplex organization

A theoretical and epistemological resignification from the transparadigmatic management

Abstract

The cardinal teleology of the essay is to generate a theoretical epistemological resignification about the classical administrative process (planning, organisation, direction and control) in transcomplex organisations within the transparadigmatic management approach. Its ontological relevance is located in the field of complex thinking within management science with cultural transmodernity as a socio-contextual epistemic background. The research is motivated by the gap between an administrative process born in modernity, of a disciplinary-fragmented nature and a current systemic, synergistic and performative approach based on a complex web of meanings. Theoretically, the work is based on the contributions of Balza (2021), Kaplan and Norton (2008), Koontz, Weihrich and Cannice (2012) and Morin (2002). The methodology used was a critical, dialectical and documentary hermeneutic which allows us to conclude that it is possible to re-signify the administrative process, a transconceptual and action change is proposed with the idea of giving it a meaning identifiable with transcomplexity. Undoubtedly, the epistemology of the administrative process is oriented towards new approaches or managerial models capable of addressing the ontological scenario of complexity and uncertainty resulting from advances in knowledge. The new cognitive logics of this new world are in sight, but to see them it is necessary to understand the context and redefine our perspective on reality.
